The Pennsylvania Bar Association LGBTQ+ rights committee presented its 2020 David M. Rosenblum LGBTQ+ Public Policy Award to Ellen S. Fischer of Fenningham, Dempster & Coval virtually at an awards ceremony as part of PBA committee/section day.

Rosenblum, a member of the PBA LGBTQ+ rights committee and a proponent of civil rights, passed away suddenly in 2014. He was a driving force behind the report, “How Marriage Counts: 572 Ways Marriage Counts in Pennsylvania,” a joint publication of the committee, the Mazzoni Center and Dechert. Rosenblum was the legal director at the Mazzoni Center.
